Journal Locator is Gone!!!!

We've hit a snag in our switch to a new Journal Locator. We've lost the old one (TD-Net) earlier than we expected. When you click on the Journal Locator link on the Library home page you will go to a normal looking screen but Southern is no longer an option. You can still search to see if Central or Eastern have a listing for the journal you are looking for and try clicking through to the database. Or go directly to the database from our Online Database page. Many of our publisher supplied online journals are available through the CONSULS catalog--the database full text journals are not in there.

Also try Jake, http://jake.med.yale.edu/. JAKE lists which databases have which journals for all of the databases that Yale knows about (and Yale seems to get almost everything). Then see if we have one of the databases listed.

You can also contact me if you have a journal that you aren't sure about.

We were planning to have the new system up and running in two weeks. We'll probably put up an incomplete listing (major databases, but not individual subscriptions) as soon as possible. We'll do what we can to hurry it up, and I'll post any new information on this blog.
